Abstract
The Cooling & Heating Load Calculation Manual generally known as ASHRAE GRP 158, was originally published about 15 years ago under direction of the late William Rudoy. The manual has served the industry as both a working and teaching document; however, as with any manual of this type, experience and research development have revealed some shortcomings in the procedures developed at that time. Further, the rapid development of the personal computer has made it possible for most designers to abandon hand calculations in favor of more rigorous automated methods while the method described in the existing manual is constained to be a manual of the latest developments and data for load calculations; has a large emphasis on computer procdures with appropriate data on magnetic media; and is comprehensive with respect to all ASHRAE load calculation procedures, except residential. Work leading to the development, review, and publication of this manual was directed by TC 4.1 Load Calculations.
